Monday Night Game Thread: Cubs @ Pirates ARRRRR!!!!!!
2008-08-25 22:50:00
Why does Julie hate this man? And America? So tonight we head into PNC, a ballpark way better than its team deserves, to take on the lowly Pirates. What is there to say about this matchup that hasn't already been said this season? We're good, they're bad. Blah blah blah. But I want to talk about something else. Something that's probably not going to make many of you very happy. The problem of what to do with our 1st baseman. Outside of Z, he's probably the most popular Cub on the team. Everyone (hearts) him. He's intelligent, a quiet leader, seems like an all around great guy. Has a butt that's up there with Rich Harden's. But kids, we have a problem. "A problem?" You probably say. "The guys is hitting .290 with an .828 OPS! And you think there's a problem? Why, any team would be proud to have such a player on their team!" Well, that's probably true. But consider that this is the lowest OPS Lee has had since 2001. His OPS and his average has declined every season since 2...

Sunday Gamethread: Pirates @ Cubs, 1:20 CDT, 2:20 EDT
2008-08-03 18:30:00
Watch as the Pirates attempt not to stick something in their eye Today's the third and final installment of Pirates @ Cubs, early August 2008.  We'll slip into clich? mode and call it the rubber game, mostly because I giggle when I hear the word rubber. On the mound for the Pirates is Ian Snell, of the 6.04 ERA and 1.88 WHIP. Ian Snell is peace-loving and popular with the ladies (or at least two ladies). As you may have been able to tell by his ERA and WHIP, Snell's not doing so well this year, but he won his last game, and John Russell thinks he's back in business: "We know he can pitch," Russell said of Snell, who also won for just the second time in 18 outings. "He's proven it. He's just had a tough time this year. It was nice to see him win (Monday night). That's what we've been looking for. Hopefully, it's a turning point." Hoping to avoid said turning point is Alfonso Soriano, who's fared well against Snell in his career, to the tune of 6-12 and 3 HR. Going fo...
Saturday Headlines/Game Thread: Pirates @ Cubs, 1:05 EDT/12:05 CDT
2008-08-02 13:25:00
Cubs turn Karstens into Cy Young candidate From the Daily Herald: Pittsburgh pitcher Jeff Karstens, making just his 10th career start and the first in the National League, held the Cubs scoreless on 5 hits over 6 innings, and three relievers sealed a 3-0 victory for the Pirates in front of 41,340 frustrated fans at Wrigley Field. Was Friday's poor showing a classic letdown by the Cubs after an intense series? "I can't say 100 percent that we didn't have a letdown, but you definitely have to give that kid credit," Jim Edmonds said of Karstens. "It would be a shame not to give him the credit that he deserves." A 25-year-old right hander, Karstens' previous major-league experience consisted of 9 starts with the Yankees over the span of two seasons. He entered Friday's game with a career record of 3-5 and a 5.65 ERA, and he'd never faced anyone in the Cubs' starting lineup, which proved to be a problem for the division leaders, The Cubs left the bases loaded against Karstens in ...

Pirates finally ready to give treasure to top draft talent
2008-06-04 18:48:00

Paypal Pirates
2008-05-29 14:34:00
Paypal has taken to sending me emails about money laundering since I’ve had more than £650 going through my account since I don’t know when. So I’ve sold some of my old stuff on ebay and get the odd affiliate payment from another website, so what? It’s not like I’m smuggling suitcases full of dirty cash into the continent via Easyjet. So now under the guise of these European Union Anti-Money Laundering regulations I need to provide Paypal with access to my bank account. Mmmm, it may be time to restrict my online transactions. I don’t like all this bureaucracy, and I don’t like the thought of Paypal having access to my bank account information. It smells like Big Brother to me.

Kovacevic Chats Draft With Pirates Execs
2008-05-26 01:35:00
There's been quite a bit of conjecture that the Pirates will draft Pedro Alvarez with their #2 pick.  Alvarez, a Scott Boras advisee, may require a Major League contract.  The Bucs' new management team will be making a statement to fans if they pony up for Alvarez. Devan Kovacevic did a Q&A on the draft with Pirates GM Neal Huntington and team president Frank Coonelly.  He didn't shy away from tough questions, touching on the Matt Wieters subject.  Kovacevic also referenced Alvarez, asking how a player demanding a big league deal would impact the team's draft choice.  Said Coonelly: The preference is to sign any amateur player to a minor-league contract. It gives the club more flexibility. With a player signed to a major-league contract right out of the draft, you have to use an option immediately to get him to the minors. If he has a minor-league contract, you can have him for three years in the minors before having to use an option.  Does that...

Lilly Tries to Right the Ship -- Cubs at Pirates : 12:35pm CDT / 1:35pm EDT
2008-05-25 19:22:00
Ted Lilly, as has been well documented by his fan club, can dominate opposing batters in a way that makes you think he has special mind powers. In his last four starts, Mr. Lilly is 4-0 with a 3.55 ERA, striking out 31 and walking only six. Mind freakin' powers, baby. However, absent the win last night, the Pirates are a team that has proven to be very susceptible to such mind powers. Let's hope that Mr. Lilly decides to unleash his talent today. The Cubs need to forget that Jason Freakin' Bay's game-winning single was his first RBI single of the year. Lou should not forget that it was over a drawn-in outfield in the 14th inning. Good news is that Soriano's LCI (see my fine headlines below to see this new stat that Bruce Miles and I came up with) is rising, so maye he'll stop running like his lunch is making a return appearance. Another thing to remember: the Pirates haven't beaten the Cubs on back-to-back days since Sept. 4-5, 2006. Not that anyone shou...

Saturday Night's All Right for Baseball - Cubs at Pirates 7:05pm EDT (6:05p
2008-05-25 00:58:00
Therapy has helped Pittsburgh get clarity It's Saturday night, and it's an early night for baseball. Let's review the salient facts: 1.  Cubs are 9-1 against the Pirates this year.  It's like playing my kid's coach-pitch baseball team.   2.  Marquis' only two wins this year have been against the Pirates. 3. The Cubs' 19 hits vs. the Pirates yesterday were a season-best, one better than the 18 they produced against ... you guessed it ... the Pirates on April 20. 4.  While Marquis...has had some trouble...Dumatrait has shitty facial hair to match his pitching this year.  You're 0-2 there, brother. The only bad news is that the Cubs won't face the Pirates again until August.  Let's enjoy this while it last, fellas! Lineups Alfonso Soriano - LF Ryan Theriot - SS Derrek Lee - 1B Aramis Ramirez - 3B Geovany Soto - C Kosuke Fukudome - RF Mark DeRosa - 2B Reed Johnson - CF Jason Marquis - P Freddy Sanchez - 2B Luis Rivas - SS Nate McLout...

Game Thread- Cubs @ Pirates- 6:05 P.M. CT/ 7:05 P.M. ET- Z Marks the Spot
2008-05-23 22:00:00
Avast, ye scurvy dogs! After the off-day on which we were apparently legally required to watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Unmeetable Expectations, the Cubs do be back to raiding their favorite team to play: the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs are powered by Orichalcum The Pitchers We have a rematch from Saturday, today. For the Cubs, Carlos Zambrano is getting the start.  Carlos has been great all season, except for his last outing where he broke a bat over his knee and lost the game.  But that was all because I called it beforehand and I control the Universe. Laugh it Up, Carlos Carlos Zambrano is a Gemini, and his horoscope is: Remember: Nobody is perfect. Whatever you lack in talent and ability, you more than make up for in well-timed excuses. I never believed in these things anyway. The Pirates send out the ruggedly-named Zachary Thomas Duke.  You know you're cool when your first and middle name are the full name of a kickass linebacker.  Mr. Duke's l...

Pirates Likely To Draft Pedro Alvarez
2008-05-20 12:55:00
John Perrotto of the Beaver County Times chronicles the Pirates' recent draft blunders.  So many wasted picks.  Under different management, the Pirates could have David Wright, B.J. Upton, Carlos Quentin, Tim Lincecum, and Matt Wieters in the organization.  Sounds like a fantasy team.  Such hindsight cherry-picking is unfair, but the Pirates should have Upton and Wieters right now. Anyway, the depressing trend of bad picks for the Pirates is likely to change this year.  For the first time, the Bucs might give out a Major League contract to a draft pick.  That pick would be Pedro Alvarez, who Perrotto believes the Pirates will take at #2.  Rumblings do not indicate the Rays want Alvarez.  Both Jonathan Mayo and Baseball America believe the Pirates will get their man.
